Why is the 20yo getting a letter from the Reserve Bank with a coin in it? "I've never contacted the Reserve Bank in my life!" they say.
Genuinely well-played Rangahau Aotearoa! The survey was completed within 15 min of it arriving. Chocolate robber Dad was fended off.

This hits different from when Tracey first said it, way back in pre-Covid times. Nothing is set in stone. But the point remains true and accurate. The world is dynamic, and we make it happen. awc.org.nz/category/for...

This quote is from a 2022 AWC kōrero with @whaeadeb.bsky.social - yet it feels more relevant than ever? And it's packing so much meaning in! So tightly, so elegantly. Evoking so much context. It's both challenge - and reassurance that we're up to the challenge. (Going off to write a thesis)

![“[As advocates and activists], we have to have emotional states of hope…. We have to focus on our wellness within the groups we work with. The imagination can be a powerful space to create the possibility of joy. Sometimes that is hard to process and it feels inappropriate but it must be there.” - Tracey McIntosh (Ngāi Tūhoe, 2019)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pidoqbu7svojy47skrusqqlh/bafkreifzm6eo2xvms6n47cy334ohi2ldswg6slzd6szo624kw6wc5wsbka@jpeg)

Thanks Ganesh! I might suggest they lead with strengths/services/solutions *and* also reframe *progressive* taxes as an enabler, as a secondary message - but totally agree that not talking about taxes is better than badmouthing them as a total concept. (slide from @akwomenscentre.bsky.social 2023)

Thanks for the tip! I love maps - and it's not often I see any that not only aren't tools of colonisation but actually centre mātauranga Māori.
Emily Karaka's maps exhibited in Toi Tū Toi Ora were a thrilling exception.
